Seth's latest accomplishments

Seth is now 3 1/2 months old and is currently working on some big accomplishments. He showed us that he knows how to roll over...

 ...stand without help when leaned up against an object for a limited time....

... and hold his head up with ease when laying on his stomach...next step crawling :) We love watching him accomplish these new feats and look forward to the next thing that he will surprise us with. He is growing and changing so fast that it's hard to keep up with all of his new accomplishments. 

Trip to the Carnegie Science Center

Yesterday we decided to take a trip to visit the Carnegie Science Center here in Pittsburgh.  We had such a great time!  We are sure that Seth is now very knowledgeable in many scientific concepts! :)  Well at least we think so!

At the Science Center they had a Michael Jackson themed laser show that we attended.  Seth slept through most of it, and when he woke up he was trying to watch the show, but I think the images were moving too fast for him to track.  At least he seemed amused!

Also there is a large robotics area in the science center with many cool robots.  We took some pictures and videos for you to enjoy!

Here I am posing with the Roboceptionist to the robot area:

Then we found what may be the worlds best air hockey player.  In the video it is kind of hard to see just how good the robot is because the young boy playing isn't really pushing the limits.  However both Steph and I gave our best shot to scoring on the robot and failed.  They had been keeping statistics of the amount of goals scored by the robot and by humans during that day and it was
Robot: 315
Humans: 15

We also saw this robot that was shooting baskets.  They even had a hoop on the side that you could shoot on at the same time the robot did.  They kept track of the shooting statistics and the robot had made an amazing 80% of his shots and the humans had only made 20%.  This is the kind of guy you want to shoot those last minute game winning free-throws!



And for good measure we took a picture with some of our robot friends for memory sake.

Sorry we don't have any amazingly cute pictures of Seth, but rest assured, he is just as cute as always!  Except probably a little more cute... ;)

Seth's 3 Month Picture

So Seth isn't actually 3 months old yet, but I think he is sick of us taking his picture!  After 3 days, 5 outfits and over 200 pictures, without further ado, we present his official 3 month picture!

Family Pictures - Carnegie Mellon Style

Well we decided it would be a good idea to get family pictures as we are just starting a new family adventure.  Plus we wanted to buy Carnegie Mellon apparel and this this was a good way to rationalize the purchase!!! :)

We hope you enjoy!  We have also changed the theme on our blog which allows the blog to be a bit wider than before, and gave it a new color scheme.  Hope you enjoy!

You can see the rest of the pictures here.

Seth is Happy!

Enjoy this video of Seth!  He says hello!

Pittsburgh Zoo

Well yesterday we decided to visit the Zoo so that Seth can start to learn his animals...OK so maybe he isn't that developed yet, but it is a good excuse for us to have some fun looking at the animals!

We particularly enjoyed going beneath the water to see sharks and other fish.  See the video and pictures below to enjoy!

Seth isn't quite sure what an Elephant is, but we sure thought they were cool!

Don't worry...I saved my beautiful wife from this dangerous encounter!

Seth didn't seem all that impressed with the sharks in this picture!  I was scared mindless!!!!!!

Well if you want to see more images go ahead and visit the Picasa Album.
